I totally agree with ''Cheer Mom Of 4'' I am also a single mom with a special needs a teenager and a elderly mother I was told over and over that whirlpool was an outstanding brand after 1-1/2 years my washer has stopped working and is flashing F51. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL !!!!!! ***DO NOT PURCHASE THIS WASHER***

I have model number WTW8200YW0. Do not purchase this! I am a single income parent of 4 and have always purchased whirlpool products. I loved the size of this washing machine and cant tell you how long I saved to purchase this. It lasted two years!!!! F51 code came on after 1 year!! I purchased the rotor position sensor over 100 dollars and had it put on! It did not correct the problem!!! I can not afford to replace this so now do not have a washing machine!!! I have read all the reviews and blogs and comments. I plan to take this to better business bureau or talk to someone about a class action suit. this is crazy that Whirlpool knows about the issue but has done nothing! Some people cannot just replace something this expensive! I purchased this because I thought Whirlpool was a dependable household name. Keep looking do not go whirlpool especially this washer!

I purchased this washer in April. I purchased it due to the size as I have a large family and thought a bigger capacity washer would be good. This washer does NOT get the clothes clean, the clothes constantly have a musty smell, even when I remove them from the washer right when the cycle ends and put the in the dryer. I would definitely NOT Purchase this particular item again, though I do own other Whirlpool appliances that we purchased for our new home at the same time that seem to be holding up.

I have had this washer for 3 years now. It does not wash, clothes come out dirty and if you have black clothes forget about it, they come out full of white stripes. Sometimes clothes are not fully wet either. I do the cleaning cycle as well as take care to arrange the clothes in a circle leaving the middle free as it is required.I contacted customer support and the agent took over a minute to even answer each word I said. After more than 10 minutes for her to only get the model and the address she finally asked if i do the clean cycle. I mentioned i do, she said how often, i answered, and I mentioned it is not about it as the problem is since the first day, her answer was just pasting a whole text sending me to fix my washer to a certified agent. I was like WOW, i had better customer supports from recorded messages than from this Courtney from Tennessee. I would not buy Whirlpool ever again

Three and a half years old. Tub seal worn causing bearings to wear down. 352.00 to replace whole tub! No way ever. Had to purchase new washer. Never again will I buy an HE washer. Does not save a dime or water as I have to use the longest cycles plus extra rinse time to get clothes clean. Whirlpool will not help me except give me 200.00 towards a new one. They are much more expensive online as you are required to buy at Whirlpool.com. I do not trust Whirlpool any longer and they also manufacture Maytag products.

This four year old washer broke before my 13 year old dryer from a much less popular and cheaper brand. HATE IT! This is the third time in the last year we've had to call a repair man and he told us this time to buy a new one because it would be just as expensive to fix it. Now we have to go buy another brand new washer. Needless to say I will not be buying the same brand again and I am not pleased.

Thank goodness I bought the 5 year extended warranty. I have had it worked on 4 times and the last time it is not feasible to repair. Worked great at first but continually leaked and it became very loud like a bearing was out.
